Cereus peruvianus ‘Coral’ f. cristata

Description

This fasciated form of the standard and more columnar Cereus peruvianus produces fan-shaped, whorled stems in a muted grey-green colour. These stems contort themselves into unpredictable shapes with the help of their rounded and compressed ribs. The ‘Coral’ variety appears with orange-red tinges in its needle-like spines.

WATERING

FEED

Use a cactus fertiliser 3-4 times from April – September.

REPOTTING
